Abstract
An assembly has a mechanically inaccessible or difficult-to-access circuit, which has an electrical component that is irreversibly changeable by a current pulse; the irreversible change of the component is capable of switching the circuit from a first operating state into a second operating state, wherein the assembly has mechanically accessible supply lines via which it is possible to supply the current pulse for the irreversible change of the electrical component.
Claims11
An assembly, comprising a circuit selected from the group consisting of a mechanically inaccessible circuit and difficult-to-access circuit and having an electrical component that is irreversibly changeable by a current pulse, so that the irreversible change of said component is capable of switching said circuit from a first operating state into a second operating state;
- and mechanically accessible supply lines via which a current pulse is suppliable for the irreversible change of said electrical component.
An assembly as defined in claim, wherein said assembly is configured as an encapsulated device selected from the group consisting of an extra-low-voltage device, a low-voltage device, and both.
A method for switching an operating state of an assembly with a circuit selected from a group consisting of a mechanically inaccessible circuit and a difficult-to-access circuit, which has an electrical component that is irreversibly changeable by a current pulse, the method comprising the steps of switching the circuit from a first operating state into a second operating state by the irreversible change of the component;
- and supplying the current pulse for the irreversible change of the electrical component via mechanically accessible supply lines.
